Mining in general, and coal mining in particular is one of those subjects that somehow fascinates me for reasons I don't clearly understand. I think it is something to do with the horror and wonder of the industry; the danger, the long term impacts, the communities that build up around mines, the vile impact of unfettered capitalism that made many fabulously rich whilst killing those tasked with digging this filthy commodity out of the ground. I was also fortunate enough, in my youth, to be able to descend into a copper mine in Zambia which was a fascinating experience - the descent in a cage, the heat, the noise etc. Mining therefore became one of a collection of subjects that both fascinates and repels me.

And in the minds of those who did think about it, the suffering was more or less a necessary evil – because, as Orwell himself put it, “the machines that keep us alive, and the machines that make the machines, are all directly or indirectly dependent upon coal”. Or, in the blustery rhetoric of Lloyd George, appealing to striking miners during the First World War: “In peace and in war King Coal is the paramount Lord of industry.”Devon Windsor sets pulses racing as she flashes her toned tummy while in bikinis from her swimwear brand... after welcoming two kids Susan Sarandon's son Miles Robbins pleads with fans to stop using video of his mom 'with her honkers out'... after she was dropped by Hollywood agent

There is overall sympathy for the workers and the exploitative owners are shown in their true colours. The horrors of the early days in the pits comes over vividly and the various catastrophes that the workers had to endure, and that the owners walked away from with the tiniest slap on the wrists, is described in such a way as to make the reader sad and angry.For some, that’s true, but how many has he met? I could have introduced him to plenty during the Great Strike, the point of which was to save pits and jobs for the next generation. In the 1980s, mining was well-paid, and safer than occupations such as construction. Those who argue for ever more state intervention might want to look away now, because whatever forces of solidarity and principle the miners brought to the strike, like the Romans of old, the state not only broke them, but wiped out their every trace.

The economist RH Tawney estimated in 1920 that annual deaths from coalmining were the equivalent of one full-strength British infantry battalion. That is, about 12,000 men every ten years. With the exception of deep-sea fishing, no other labour compared. This, says Paxman, is typical of how the history of British coal mining has unfolded: cheap exploitation, followed by awful human disaster, followed by grudging changes to the law.a b Paxman: Putting Up With Parkinson's – Paxman: Putting Up With Parkinson's , retrieved 4 October 2022 Porter, Bernard (5 October 2011).
